Spurs’ streak at limiting foes below 100 points reaches seven

For all of Gregg Popovich’s concerns about his team’s struggling defense earlier this season, the Spurs are improving. They came up with another strong effort Saturday night to help wrap up a 103-89 triumph at New Jersey.

The victory marked the seventh consecutive time the Spurs have held their opponent below 100 points. The streak dates back to a 101-100 overtime loss to Dallas on Jan. 29. Since then, the Spurs have won all seven games.
